The Steampunk Chronicles follows Finley Jayne, a girl with a dangerous dual nature, through a Victorian London powered by clockwork and strange science. Beginning with The Girl in the Steel Corset (2011), the series pairs a core group of gifted young people against threats that blend the mechanical and the mystical.

The series includes both full-length novels and shorter companion stories that explore individual characters like Jasper Renn and Jack Dandy. The seven books, published between 2011 and 2014, build an alternate Victorian world where corsets are armored, collars conceal clockwork secrets, and hearts can be mechanical.
